  4. No bullying or international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician.

The word they meant to use is "carelessly". We would also have accepted "inattentively".

"Greedily" works too.

My org has a policy of requesting us to use copilot as much as we can. Its also almost completely useless at my job, but its really good if i just write my functions and queries super sloppy and just get it to organize the text.

Burning down an acre of rainforest and charging the company so i don't have to press enter.

If they went 860% over budget and spent 1.8 million dollars, they still intended to spend almost $190,000 on slop output from the plagiarism robot.

Aren't menial coding tasks what it does best? God fucking damnit, I don't want to be stuck doing the boring shit while Claude gets all the fun stuff.

Why is AWS using Claude when they have their own AI solutions.

I would hope that this would give the few sane people left at Amazon a bit of ammo to reduce reliance on AI, but this is Amazon we're talking about.

Nah I want them to go all in. Seems like the world where that happens is the one where Amazon is most likely to collapse or at least emerge in a diminished state, which would be great. Fuck Amazon.

In the words of Cory Doctorow, "I'm not an accelerationist, but I'm not not an accelerationist."

They denying pee breaks so the tech dept can go 860% over budget.

[–] DrPop@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I just finished reading Starship Troopers and cooking bacon only brings one thing to mind. But on topic that isn't a mistake.

Malicious compliance is the best way to get rid of AI

Make companies fear implementation and soaring costs
